Ordered that judgment is modified, on the law, by deleting from the first decretal paragraph the provision which awarded interest in the amount of $110,350; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed, with costs to the respondent, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for a recalculation of interest to be applied to the award.
"The requisite elements of proof in a medical malpractice [action] are (1) a deviation or departure from accepted practice, and (2) evidence that such departure was a proximate cause of injury or damage" (Amsler v. Verrilli, 119 A.D.2d 786). Contrary to the appellants' contentions, we find that the verdict finding liability was supported by the evidence presented to the jury.
However, we agree that there has been a miscalculation of the interest awarded. Not all of the interest awarded on the wrongful death cause of action should have been calculated from the date of death (see, Milbrandt v. Green Refractories Co., 79 N.Y.2d 26).
The appellants' remaining contentions are without merit. Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter and Florio, JJ., concur.
